Updated review I tried the tacos and they were delicious. I think it would've been better with some of a homemade salsa and the burger and fries. They had were also delicious. read more

Very nice and clean inside. The toilet/bathroom was so clean!! Ordered the 3 egg omelette with bacon and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Not overdone like most places do. They were nice and fluffy. The sourdough toast was also so good!! I rarely eat my bread side but this one was a must eat! The breakfast burrito with bacon was also great with fluffy eggs inside. The crispy home potatoes inside also added to the taste. The outside of the tortilla was also nice and grilled for a crunchy exterior. The salsa was homemade and had a nice spice. The outdoor area was very clean and spacious. With various types of table tops and chairs, including low seating options. The barista/ employee was also friendly and helpful. Can't wait to return to try more items or just to hang out. Very relaxing environment! read more

The Grove - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

The Grove at Governor Pointe is a dining facility serving the adjacent offices at this cul de sac in the University City neighborhood. There was a parking deck right next to the building, however there was also a row of surface spaces along the north side of the structure which I took advantage of during my late lunch hour visit. The seating capacity was roughly the same between the outdoor tables on the patio and the inside tables across from the service counter. Breakfast, lunch, and happy hour were offered between 7:30 am and 4:30 pm. About half a dozen choices were available for breakfast with double that number for lunch. A separate happy hour menu listed five different small bites. Coffee, tea, and smoothies were the drink categories. I saw a posting for a Chicken Tikka Masala entree but learned that it was the lunch special from another day of the week and not a regularly served item. My selection was the Fish Tacos with a cup of soup on the side. I asked for the white fish to be grilled instead of battered. Two tacos were served on corn tortillas topped with shaved cabbage, pico de gallo, salsa roja, and serrano crema. They were slightly larger than street size and were decent in quality. The star was the soup of the day which happened to be mushroom. It was a dark grey colored broth with micro-cilantro as a garnishment. The soup was very creamy and hearty. I could have filled up with another round, it was that good. The food came out quickly from the kitchen, and the workers were very friendly. I don't know how busy The Grove gets during peak lunch time, but it's a nice spot to hang out to do laptop work or for a break from the daily grind. read more

The Grove - White chocolate pumpkin spice latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

So happy to have this cafe near my new place! It's so good both food and drinks, staff are awesome and so kind. Lots of seating as well. I love that they have a different fruity water each time. The chimichurri steak sandwich is so good from to go fridge when I don't have time to wait. It's a very professional vibe but chill. Little pricey but high quality tasty and decent portions. If ur doing a Togo order make sure to check if it's waiting for u on the left side one time I waited 30 mins cuz it was sitting behind the counter but no worries. The one thing is I wish they were open more days! Hope that changes in the future because I love stopping by. read more

I got the avocado toast over toasted and poached eggs which weren't poached. They were semi hard boiled toast is wheat toast with looks like sour cream and sliced avocado not mashed avocado with radishes seems to be fairly good. The one thing that was very disappointing. Was they take no cash their card only. I don't know if I'll be going back. I called in my order and Kim was very nice and when I got there, they were very nice behind the counter. read more

We received a coupon in the mail from this place so we came for lunch to try it. I got the sesame-soy, cashew, Napa cabbage salad with Chimichurri tofu and loved it. Very fresh tasting. Just enough dressing. Too many places drench their salad with dressing to the point that you can't taste the other ingredients but not this place. And the flavoring on the tofu complemented the salad well. My friend got the herbed chicken with the same salad and really enjoyed it also. Our two other friends liked their sandwiches so this place is a win. Service was good. Our food came out fast. This place is located in a business area but it wasn't too busy when we got there. Nice cafe with good indoor and outdoor seating. Bright setting. Will be back to try other items! read more

Oh man when I tell you I am SO happy this place opened up. I came across it about a month after they opened. It's the perfect addition to the area; whenever I'm in person for work, I am always stopping by here (sometimes TWICE a day lol). They have so many options and the portion sizes are so good for the price. First off let me just say that the fact that they have overnight oats and make it so well is incredible enough for me as a major overnight oats fan. And then they got a $6 breakfast burrito that is actually filling?! Amazing. I've also tried their coffee, pastry, Mary's chicken sandwich, their smoothies.... I mean everything has been *chefs kiss* . The staff are also great. The chefs (who I assume are the owners) are very visible and involved. And the space itself is very spacious with lots of indoor seating and outdoor ones as well. The environment is so bright and welcoming. I love this spot and highly recommend everyone check it out! read more

Wow. This great cafe around the corner from our office. Been here twice now within two weeks. Great place for lunch and soon a happy hour!!! Food is amazing! Created by a chef and everything is locally sourced farm to fork concept. Good selection of local brews and wines. Order at the counter and the food comes out amazingly fast. Delightful place especially when the BIG door is open and the weather is great. We will be back many more times. Thank you for opening your business here we hope it will do well for many more years to come. read more

I've been to The Grove for coffee, breakfast and lunch. All amazing! The coffee is not too sweet but doesn't lack flavor. The breakfast burrito is so so good and the breakfast plate is just perfect. The breakfast potatoes are amazing! Flaky, a bit crunchy and salty on the outside and soft and fluffy on the outside. I've never had potatoes like these! Lunch is also delicious. The burger is flavorful and the meat is perfect seasoned. I also tried their lunch special, shrimp roll with fries. OMG! The shrimp was so fresh and had the perfect sauce to shrimp ratio. So so good! They also have a variety of pastries and grab n go items that are also great. The overnight oats were perfect. And lastly they have a complimentary infused water station that changes daily. Also delicious and so refreshing. The staff is also amazing. Very polite, attentive and professional. A must try. The Grove is a hidden gem! read more
